The Off Season
Dir. James Felix McKenney (2003 90 min, 1.85)
Christina Campanella, Don Wood, Ruth Kulerman, Larry Fessenden, Angus Scrimm
In the beginning, THE OFF SEASON appears to be the story of a young couple from New York City moving up to Maine to get away from it all. Soon, strange things begin to happen in the one-room apartment that they occupy — things that the once close couple cannot discuss with each other. This is not a typical ghost story resulting from a tragic death, but the tale of a place haunted by guilt and the fear of abandonment.

“The Off Season delivers both remarkable character development and terrific “jump” moments. Prepare to scream, shudder and never shower in a motel again.”
— Corinne Low, The Chronicle
“deliberately-paced ghost story from executive producer Larry Fessenden. At first glance, the plot plays out like The Shining, but more probing reveals that there’s a lot at work here and that the film has merit on its own.”
— Martin & Porter, DVD & Video Guide 2007

Please Note: Despite what you may see depicted on the cover of the Lionsgate DVD, there is NO hand reaching out of the ground, nor a graveyard in this film.
There is a motel and there are ghosts.
